A PERSONAL WORD:

The beautiful thing about using abalone shell is that with movement, you see all of the shells natural "play of color-diffraction of light" qualities that it has. When you turn the shell one way,y ou get these electrifying vibrant chartreuse colors,then when you turn it a different way, you'll see pinks, creamy tans, yellow/oranges & these ultra beautiful blue violet/periwinkle colors!! Another thing that's great about working with this shell, is for the fact that whatever color gem you pair them with,seems to bring out that particular color within the abalone & depending on what they're paired with, it will either tone down the overall color or make it more vibrant. Pairing the shell with these purple color Amethyst gemstones tends to pull from the violet & periwinkle colors that are found in the shell!

*****************************

THE RING:

Dictating the ring's 2" tall size is based on the size of the chunky tear drop/pear cuts & the large 16 mm center cut of Abalone. Complimenting the abalone, are oval cuts of Amethyst that line the center sides & top & bottom.

THE ADJUSTABLE BYPASS SHANK

The shank is done in a bypass style & is adjustable. It's presently sized at a size 9-1/2.. For me personally, I find that it's easier for me to adjust up in size, than to go down in size, so if you need me to go up a size or so (No more than) please let me know at the time of purchasing!! If you need it smaller by a size or so,there are ways to bring it down without the cost of a jeweler(You would have to email me to find out).But you can also bring it to a reputable jeweler to do this for you, since I will only adjust up, not down.

If you zoom in on the last photo, you'll see the all Abalone ring that can be found in the "Ring" category!
